Yep. The 31st. Tay and I might be staying at ISU with our buddy Austin (the guy with the lifted Ram) Friday through Sunday but we will definitely be at the Cliffs on Saturday.

Great deal on the tires. They will look cool on the XJ.

Lol nice, I did the same thing by installing a factory fog light switch with after market fog lights. works good. I've had my dash apart more times then I can count. Lol got it down pretty well. I plan on taking the whole dash out this summer and replacing my heater core, replacing some wire harnesses and probably running some rca cables as well.

It wasn't that bad. I still think we should just yank the flares off and trim where they were

I hope better late than never, but good job on the headliner. When I did mine it was such an awesome feeling to get the Arabian tent feeling out of my jeep. lol

I found a new/used instrument cluster and installed it. I sold the other cluster that had the older look to it but had the tach to a guy for $35. Paid $20 for it. So really I only paid $5 for the new cluster. lol Looks like the one you have in yours now.

I am putting in the Pro Comp 2.5 rear leaf springs that I bought last week on Tuesday 3-3-12. Are those the ones you put on your XJ? And how many inches is your front lifted? I just bought the Pro comp 2.5 springs and have 1.5 shackles to get a good shackle angle. And I have a 3.5 inch front lift on mine.

Haha I didn't even know about the older style tach cluster until after I did this swap I saw one on here somewhere.

Thanks, yeah the headliner is great! should a done it 5 years ago when I first got the jeep lol. And nice deal on the cluster. Im pretty sure you probably got the same leafs as i did, I got about 3inchs or so out of them after they settled. And I have about 2 1/2 inchs in the front with the rancho coils. I'm planning on going up to 4 inches soon. Probably just get an inch shackle in the back unless I find a good deal on some 4 inch leaf packs
